Philodendron 'Sunlight'

Firetruck red leaves first emerge for Philodendron ‘Sunlight’, fading into an array of deep green and burgundy. The low maintenance and shade tolerant nature of this plant mean they’re easy-going, but with their tropical origins they do prefer some extra humidity so keep in mind to mist them every now and then to keep those glossy leaves happy. To encourage those bright red leaves keep this Philodendron somewhere bright, but out of harsh direct sun.

In S/S water when 20% of the top soil has dried out. In A/W allow top soil to dry out 50%. To increase humidity during S/S, mist the plant occasionally or sit it on top of a tray of pebbles with water.

Bright, indirect.

Use a houseplant fertiliser every two months from April - October.

Repot every 2-3 years when pot is full. Use a well draining house plant compost with added draining medium like perlite.
